A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The code below works perfectly well for most sites, but not "hubic.com", *not* with Java younger then 1.6. (1.7, 1.8.) The same little program works for 1.6. Examples of yet other sites can be provided upon request.


It throws:
 javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received fatal alert: protocol_version

It is very easy to test. Compile with different SDKs.


        try {
            CloseableHttpResponse execute = HttpClientBuilder.create().build().execute(new HttpGet("https://hubic.com"));
            System.out.println(execute.toString());
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 6u45

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
I have done this above.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile the code below with different SDKs. 1.6, 1,7, 1.8.

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        try {
            CloseableHttpResponse execute = HttpClientBuilder.create().build().execute(new HttpGet("https://hubic.com"));
            System.out.println(execute.toString());
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I am expecting a clean "excute" object without exceptions thrown.

ACTUAL -
javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received fatal alert: protocol_version

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Use an older SDK (!)
